ScheduleWhat Is Eczema?
Eczema is a term for a chronic skin condition that is caused by a disruption in the normal function of the skin and certain pathways within the immune system. This inflammatory condition can lead to redness and itchy spots on the skin that can occur anywhere on your body, including the hands, face, neck, or other places. There are a variety of forms of eczema including atopical dermatitis, nummular dermatitis, irritant contact dermatitis, dyshidrotic dermatitis, and allergic contact dermatitis. This condition normally starts in youth, but can impact individuals at any age. At Brentwood Skin Clinic in Nashville, TN, Dr. Austin Mitchell can help diagnose eczema and other rashes so a precise treatment plan can be created and completed.

How Are Eczema and Other Rashes Treated?
Eczema and many other rashes can be treated with a selection of prescribed or over-the-counter drugs and ointments. Hydrocortisone ointments and creams can be used in addition to antihistamines, like Benadryl, to help relieve symptoms. Prescription drugs, such as steroid creams or immunomodulators, can assist if you have moderate to severe eczema. An oral steroid or corticosteroid might also be prescribed. In severe instances, Dr. Mitchell may recommend ultraviolet light therapy or laser therapy to reduce symptoms. When other treatments have failed, immunosuppressants could be prescribed since these drugs suppress the immune system.
It's important that you do not scratch your eczema, as this can lead to even more discomfort. Some ways to alleviate this discomfort and signs and symptoms of eczema at home include:
- Applying a cool compress
- Wearing clothing with natural fabrics
- Using moisturizing creams and soaps for sensitive skin
- Avoiding allergens and chemical irritants
Brentwood Skin Clinic Reviews
Dr. Mitchell is the best dermatologist I have ever been to. He was able to diagnose my eczema as being a more extreme case when others were not. I like him because he will not give you strong dose of steroids unless he believes you absolutely need them (in most cases you don't). He will work with you and really cares about your well-being. He will listen to all of your concerns is very courteous. The nurses and receptionist are great as well. They are quick and friendly and very informative. I was able to get to my appointment, be seen and be back to work in under an hour! And that was with a 30 minute drive round trip! I will definitely only see Dr. Mitchell from now on and will recommend him to all of my friends and family.
